#rant … #Apple #MathNotes is so buggy for me.
I just want to do some simple arithmetic for financial planning and nothing works reliably. I can’t even figure out when a variable is recognized and when it’s not.
The idea of having a text document that can calculate is very appealing to me. But it has to work.

By the way, I’m still waiting for an implementation of #jupyter #notebook|s as an app that doesn’t spin up a local server when running.

For example, #MathNotes tries to keep track of units, which is good. But it looses the unit when I get the difference of two dates - it returns the number of years when only the year is different, which is wat I need here.
So when I have another variable that is €/year, the product is still €/year although it should be just €.
Also, the ANSI standard for dates does not work reliably, because the „-„ character can also be an operator.
